Nintendo is once again brightening our Monday morning with the European Nintendo Download update, which this week includes a variety of genres covering three systems — yep, DSiWare is back. There are some promotions — present and future — to consider, new games and Virtual Console offerings on both Wii U and 3DS. Let's get to it.

Wii U eShop

My Exotic Farm (BIP Media, €4.99 / £4.49) — This is the second remake from this series to arrive on the Wii U, giving you the task of running, maintaining and expanding your farm and its profits. Like its predecessor this has left us unimpressed, being more chore-sim than enjoyable game; our My Exotic Farm review has the details.

Wii U Virtual Console

Golden Sun (Nintendo, €6.99 / £6.29) — An RPG series that plenty of people are keen to see return to the current generation of systems, after two GBA titles and one on DS; this is the first of those entries that may just draw in a new group of fans while providing nostalgia for others. We'll try to save the world again for our upcoming review.

F-Zero Maximum Velocity (Nintendo, €6.99 / £6.29) — While we may impatiently await the day that the F-Zero franchise returns, this arrives to help soften the blow. This Game Boy Advance entry certainly prompts some debate among fans due to the differences in its handling from its predecessors. Despite that ability to divide opinion, it has some enthusiastic advocates, and earned a recommendation in our 3DS Ambassador F-Zero Maximum Velocity review; we'll take to the track for another race on Wii U.

Wii U eShop Promotion

If you already own My Farm on Wii U, you can download My Exotic Farm on the same system for €3.49 / £3.14.

3DS eShop

Nintendo Pocket Football Club (Nintendo, €11.99 / £10.79 until 1st May, will be €14.99 / £13.49) — A sequel to a little-known Game Boy Advance title released in Japan, this takes its own distinctive approach to football management. It may not have the depth of PC-based football-sim titles, but it's well put together and has charm in abundance. You can read all about it and why we gave it a recommendation in our Nintendo Pocket Football Club review.

Tiny Games - Knights & Dragons (Reactor, €2.99 / £2.49) — Very little detail is given for this one aside from the fact it's the first of a series of mini-game collection aimed at young gamers. We'll let you know what it's like soon.

3DS Retail Download

3DS Retail Demos

3DS eShop Promotion

If you purchase Mario Golf: World Tour on the eShop from 2nd May until 29th May, you will receive a free download of the Game Boy Color Mario Golf for free — the download code will have to be redeemed by 30th June. The Game Boy Color title will then be available to purchase from the European eShop for €4.99 / £4.49 from 29th May.

3DS eShop Temporary Discount

DSiWare

I Am In The Movie (CIRCLE Entertainment, 200 Nintendo Points) — Billed as a video app that allows you to create neat mini movies using your DSi camera, this title fails to deliver. Low quality images on the struggling DSi tech, clips limited to 5-10 seconds and obtuse layouts all contributed to this being heavily criticised in our I Am In The Movie review.

Those are the choices this week, Europe. Let us know what you're planning to pick up in the poll and comments below.
